Magneto, portrayed by Sir Ian McKellen

Most people had their doubts that someone the likes of Ian McKellen could nail the role of one of Marvel's most powerful mutants. But in the three X-men films, he did the role of Magneto proud, making believers out of those that doubt him.

That and seeing Wolverine get his ass trounced by an old man younger than he is is very funny.

Please note that I'm not using Magneto's comic bio, but his movie bio.
